If you are talking torrents, then I use www.isohunt.com and www.mininova.org ... although the latter has faced a few legal battles recently, and has thus gone down hill.

For TV shows, the best i find is www.eztv.it ... Although they are currently rebuilding their servers, and should be back online soon. They are good for individual episodes, and usually have them up within hours of airing. Even has some Pre-Airs occasionally.

In order to convert the files to play on your dvd player, you'll need a program that converts avi to dvd. You can just google that. Or if you don't trust those sites, type in avi to dvd in www.mininova.org, and read the comments. Users are pretty helpful on that site.

In terms of just streaming tv shows, www.surfthechannel.com is the one I use. They provide links (often several per episode) to other websites that stream the show you are looking for. www.ninjavideo.net also works well, and streams the video right there for you.

And if you are a police officer who asked this question so you could try and close these sites down... well, your interrogation style is second to none!!! and I must

www.piratebay.org is another great one, from music to movies to games, there hasn't been much that I haven't been able to find.

AFAIK, all the major broadband providers limit you to 60-90GB per month

Mine is 100 a month. The cap is not a hard cap in that they just shut off your internet. It's nearly impossible for a big company like that to enforce it anyway. Yes the bandwidth is tracked, but the most I have ever heard of my isp doing is sending a letter saying that usage is too high and to scale it back. I've never gotten such a letter, but if I do, it must have been someone else accessing my network through a wireless device

My isp actually offers a faster package that allows 150 gigs a month, but it's double the price. I'll stick with my 15mbit.

With who (15 Mbit, 100GB)? - PM me if you prefer...
And is it throttled? (for VOIP reasons, I would prefer it isn't... )

Right now, I've been keeping mine below 50-55GB, even though I'm officially "unlimited" due to grandfathering; I don't want to raise any red flags and have them change it... (the month I plan to change, I'll probably just let loose until they actually do cut me off)
